Chris Mungo I think so too ...from summer 98 till the blueprint 2 hov was on fire with 2001 probably being his biggest year that’s like the year he put his foot down like I’m crushing everybody lol
i don’t think it’s personal i think it’s a verifiable fact. like TBP is one of the 4 hip hop albums in the Library of Congress. It’s the best rap album in the last 25 years.
Logan X 4:44 is great album and is unprecedented because hov has grew so much over the years and is the FIRST rapper to stress things like generational wealth. What makes it also amazing about this is that it can be appreciated by all groups of people versus before when he was still kinda money, cash, hoes which mostly appealed to the hood. 4:44 will probably be studied at harvard like illmatic is. BUT to say that it is lightyears ahead of THE BLUEPRINT?
Logan X the only songs that are not super classical is hola hovito and jigga that nigga, and those songs are still dope. The rulers back is one of the best intro songs in history. Takeover is over a warlike Doors beat and one of the best diss tracks ever. Kanye went crazy on the Jackson 5 sample on Izzo and he murdered that beat. Girls, Girls, Girls is the second best player anthem of all time and #1 is Big Poppa. U DONT KNOW IS ONE OF THE BEST BEATS EVER!!! “ i’m a hustler baby, ill sell water to a well” that song told his story to success is such amazing fashion that it changed my LIFE. I invest into stocks at 16 years old because of that song
Logan X Heart of the City is a top 10 jay song, the beat is retarded and he has so many quotables on it. Never Change has a crazy david ruffin sample and hov spit sum real game on that. “ Give him money to eat, next week he broke”!!! “ Chains is cool to cop but more important is lawyers FEES!” That song is the PERFECT VIBE to appreciate your friends and family with. Song Cry was so amazing because he was the only rapper at that time to make such an emotional girl song. Only rapper who was doing that was LL and he was way before jay. Songs Like “ All I Need” and “ Blueprint” are needed to balance out the heavy banging beats on the album and he let us into his work of “ Blueprint” and All i need is just bar for bar ill. Lyrical Exercise is the best workout song i ever heard and we don’t need to talk about renegade😭
@@MichaelElam2 definitely I think he already had but 2001-03 stamped it even the way he so called retired was classic that concert in MSG was legendary
Jay-Z will forever be a legend in hip hop and nobody has had a run like him in the music business by dropping some many albums over the years. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017
Jay makes his best albums when he doesn’t overthink and just moves off inspiration. He did this with Blueprint and American Gangster. Just went in the booth and dropped 50. Hope he can return to this state soon.
@@DOOMile yeah they pushed it up about 2-3 times ….I remember the album leaked early like real early almost the beginning of august almost everyone had the bootleg but the tracks were scrambled around the rulers back wasn’t even on there yet …September 11th came and I remember going to buy the album before I went to school of course I was late lol by the time I got to my first period one of the buildings was already burning it was a crazy day
Really thats crazy, my oldest brother was born on September 11, 1999, and he turned 2 years old on that fateful day, there was even a birthday party planned too, but it was cancelled due to the attacks. Also my mom had worked in the South Tower during that time, but she didnt show up for work that day for unrelated reasons but she happened to be there walking out of a coffee store when she saw north tower got hit and she just immediately started walking away
@@kapo2012fb no it wasn’t it was suppose to come out the 25th of September but the album leaked in late august so they had to push the date up …I remembered when the album leaked it had 20 songs on there & bonus tracks , lyrical exercise was the 2nd song on the album takeover was like 7th the tracks were all mixed up you can tell someone just burned all the songs too a cd and put it out
Imagine how surreal that shit would've been living in New York chilling on a roof top listening to this album and then the towers fall a couple hours later
